Body Central, one of the last few original tenants of the Jacksonville Landing, is closing its store there.Tom Stoltz, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, said the location just doesnâ€™t fit where the womenâ€™s clothing chain is going.

Which is why it needs reconfigured & to stop trying to be a mini mall. That entire part needs hollowed out & opened up to the street. As it is, it has people from the street having to walk through a busted ass "mall of death" to get to the water/entertainment part of the complex (why people actually go there). Thats stupid. Yes, I know you can walk around it through parking lots & whatnot, but no one does, and they shouldn't have to.

No one goes downtown for retail & they'll never be able to compete with all the other shopping centers & malls, so don't try. Retail in general is on the downward slope anyway.
